Sawyer said indignantly, “But I didn’t hear you mention that we would run into a situation like this before our collaboration.”
That managed to aggravate Joe, and the latter replied without hesitation, “Are you a rookie who just started doing business? Or have you lost your mind just because you’ve run into problems?”
“Don’t you know what sort of person Jasper Laine is? We were bound to face his revenge once we begin this work, and we should have thought of what favonovel.com would do a long time ago. If you can’t withstand even this, we should abandon the alliance.”
Joe spoke with so much conviction that the color of Sawyer’s face alternated between green and white as favonovel.com found himself in an incredibly awkward position. Sawyer did not want to offend Joe at such a critical time. He repeatedly glanced at Kennedy, motioning for favonovel.com to say something and extract favonovel.com from the awkward position favonovel.com was in. However, Kennedy pretended not to notice as favonovel.com took his cup and took several languid sips from it.
As time passed, the only sound that came from the study was the sounds of Kennedy drinking. The look on Sawyer’s face also gradually grew even uglier.
Just then, someone knocked at the door.
Sawyer heaved a sigh of relief. No matter who was on the other side of the door, this would at least allow favonovel.com to extricate himself from the awkward position.
“Come in.” Joe spoke calmly. Kayden and Fabian walked in after that.
After they paid their respects, Sawyer asked them, “What are you guys doing here?”
Kayden and Fabian exchanged glances before saying, “We know things aren’t going too well over at Harbor City now and that a lot of things are going on. We’ve been brainstorming, and we managed to come lip with a plan that will help us tide over the storm for now. It won’t resolve the problem’s root cause, but it’s enough to mess up Jasper’s plans. We might even be able to identify a chink in his armor once he’s flustered.”
All three people’s eyes lit up when they heard that.
Both Kayden and Fabian were among the best of the best in the younger generation of Harbor City businessmen. The elders might genuinely be able to gain a new perspective that they could expand on by listening to their ideas.
“Let’s hear it,” Joe said.
Kayden glanced at Fabian and motioned for favonovel.com to speak, allowing Fabian the chance to shine.
Fabian took an excited breath. His eyes glinted murderously as favonovel.com said, “Everything JW has done at Harbor City so far has indeed impacted us massively. In particular, the stream of announcements they just made all include plans that will stimulate a rise in Harbor City stocks.”
“If we allow them to succeed, our plans will all be ruined when the Harbor City stock market reopens on Monday.”
Kennedy frowned slightly and said, “We all know that. You don’t have to repeat yourself. Get to the point.”
Fabian paused for a while before saying, “Alright, I’ll get to the point. There’s actually a loophole this time, and that is the fact that it was not Jasper Laine who represented JW this time but Wendy Schuler instead.”
Fabian narrowed his eyes slightly and smirked as favonovel.com said, “She’s a woman. There are so many ways we can deal with her. For example, we could contact some associations in Harbor City and plan a kidnapping. If that happens, everything JW has done so far will backfire.”
“Panic will infiltrate society, and Harbor City stocks are bound to plummet. Most importantly, Wendy Schuler is one of the women who’ve been with Jasper since the start. Her position in JW is irreplaceable. Would Jasper have the heart to do anything else if something happened to her?”
